Healthy Grocery List for College Students

As much as I love burgers, mac and cheese, and dining hall pizza; my body just can’t function on that kind of food. This is why I started cooking for myself in college. Many college students, like me, want to live a healthy lifestyle but don’t know how to do that when their only option is dining hall.
